Rain

by Angel Of Noctem

The rain was pouring down on him, and had been doing so for a while. He was soaked and he was really cold. The raindrops falling down his face almost, but not entirely, managed to hide the tears that were falling from his amber eyes. He didn't even care to hide them. It was getting late and it was dark outside. The lamp above his head was out of order. Footsteps could be heard, and they were getting closer.

"Remus?" a surprised voice called out from behind him.

"Yes, Sirius, it's me."

"What are you doing here? You are soaked, how long have you been here?" He noticed the tears, but didn't mention it.

"For three hours, six minutes and forty-three seconds."

"Shit Remus, are you trying to kill yourself!?"

"Kind of."

Sirius shook his head and looked concerned as he dragged his friend into his house. Remus just stood there in the hallway and was staring blankly at the wall in front of him. Sirius pulled of Remus' cloak and took his hand and led him to the living room.

"Jeez, what's the matter with you? Why aren't you in France, wasn't you supposed to go there today?"

"I changed my mind, something important came up."

"Then what are you doing here, all weird and stuff. Why aren't you busy doing that important thingy?"

"I am doing it, soon. I'll just have to warn you first. I might as well kill myself by telling you this, but I can't keep it a secret anymore. I can't hide it inside me, I'm sorry." At this the tears started to fall again.

Sirius hugged him tightly and wondered what could possibly be the matter with Remus.

"Mm mooggh yommgh simmhm"

"What did you say Moony?"

"I said: I love you Sirius."

Sirius lifted Remus chin and blue eyes met amber. Two pair of lips met; one pair was warm and soft, the other one was cold and salty because of tears. The kiss was soft and very short, but it was the best kiss they've ever experienced.

The both young men smiled.

"I love you too Rem, I love you too."
